The major news of the day is that the tent we are hiring for supplementing our seating capacity over our 150th Anniversary weekend has been ordered. We are still on the hunt for an audio and cctv system to install in the tent. If you know
of anyone please contact us.

The Common is Cleared of all Bush

So good to see the Common cleared of all bush. It was looking untidy as all that which was cut down was lying in heaps. Thank you Bruce Yendall for taking the initiative to clear.

Not at all happy to see those pesky cattle critters taking up residence. A stone in the graveyard was upended. Unbelievable that cattle grids are no longer a deterrent.

Rokeby Park Church Interior

In line with the policy of the Circuit to afford the Country Churches of Clumber and Rokeby Park the opportunity of the congregants of these areas to attend Church on a more regular basis, it was the turn of Rokeby Park to host a Communion Service
today. So well attended too, with Rev Sandile Kalipa in the pulpit. Some excellent organ playing together with a first verse soprano solo of Amazing Grace by a young lass gave everyone present the inspiration to lift the roof in song.

Phyl Long and Jean Munro

Welcome showers of rain this morning on the way to Clumber Church. Jean Munro gave a wonderful sermon and afterwards we gathered for tea and eats in the old Clumber School. So nice to be able to socialize and chat over tea.

Posters for our 150th Celebrations in October were distributed amongst the congregation for displaying in the District.

Some of those Volunteering their Services on our Work Party.

A great turnout yesterday as volunteers tackled the cleaning of the graves, weeding and trimming the flower beds, planting donated plants and the planting of a tree. It was really heartening to see so many people from other communities assisting
us in cleaning and beautifying our churchyard.

Tomorrow is the last Work Party for the year . Should we have sufficient people turning up for voluntary cleaning of the graves then we should be able to put to bed all our major tasks we set ourselves in September last year.

We just cannot believe how much we have actually achieved in a relatively short period of time.

Bush Cleared

Massive improvement at Clumber. All the invasive thorn and wattle has been cut on the Common. The branches are lying in clumps awaiting drying out before being burnt. All the tree trunks and stumps have been sprayed to prevent future spreading.
The Church is now totally visible on the approach road.
